Create a window at the top of the application

Question

In my application, I have a set of windows. I need some of the windows to be the largest when the application is active. I tried to do this by changing the window level but not getting

If I put NSNormalWindowLevel, then when I click on any other window of my application, this window will be in the background. If I use any other level than NSNormalWindowLevel, then the window remains the topmost, even if I switch to another application. I want the window to be the top only when my application is active. How to do it in cocoa?

thank
